  • Ebonscale Douglas Copeland (@Ebonscale) reported

    @_psdo @xavierck3d and dont get me wrong: i admit to LIKING overwatch skins. a lot of them are really cool and it doesnt really affect casual players that much but for a competitive shooter, yea, it introduces a host of issues

  • Tendou1879 Matt (@Tendou1879) reported

    Apparently it's toxic to respond to your Ana (that asks you to switch) "Why? I'm outhealing you" as LUCIO. Apparently we needed more healing and me being Lucio was the problem and I was "toxic" for telling our Ana no. **** Overwatch. Stupid game full of crybaby *****.

    Server down😞 Also dann halt Overwatch...

  • ThatSeanMc JudgeHolden26 (@ThatSeanMc) reported

    @PaulTassi Felt they tried 2 do this @ the start of D2 (Overwatch was huge then) & it was never a good fit for dual balancing. Crucible & its 4v4 (mostly) tight circular maps & mysterious player stats/matchmaking hasn’t felt right since. Shoving 6v6 into those maps didn’t fix it either.

  • JackyBoyDraws JackyBoyDraws (@JackyBoyDraws) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey! Are you guys having any issues with Overwatch game servers? The connection to one was lost for me and I ended up getting a 7 hour suspension for it. My internet is perfectly stable and all that, everything's been checked surrounding that. Know anything?

  • Turquoisemoss Turquoise Moss (@Turquoisemoss) reported

    @PlayStation I pay for psn, the fact that when I play online no matter what internet I'm using or how fast it is I always get disconnected at least once a day playing overwatch, fix your **** or ill sue you for this ****** network.

  • DeltaFireexx D E L T A (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    has anyone else had serious issues with the overwatch menus being laggy or straight up not loading??

  • ArthurM12790490 Arthur Morgan (@ArthurM12790490) reported

    @BlizzardCS I've had a problem on Xbox where i cant launch Overwatch and it gives me an error for validating the game i bought. I went through all the possible solutions and i eventually tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It's now no longer in my games list and i am unable to install it

  • b713974792 b7wenty (@b713974792) reported

    @TheMacroShow Spectrum is *** like for real it literally has a daily disconnect like if I play overwatch there's a chance I could lose 50sr or of I play apex I can just dc mid fight or any other online game even just talking to friends I have to reset the party after being kicked

  • yoshi12370 Yoshi 🐲 !ris Returns 5/7! (@yoshi12370) reported

    What really killed Overwatch was Blizzard not actually having a plan. They couldn't choose between catering to their causal or comp player base, they never planned on a story until 2018, and now they're trying to fix it by putting the game in a content hiatus for a sequel

  • bonbongallore Bon Bon (@bonbongallore) reported

    @BlizzardCS hey blizzard my Xbox isn’t letting me save highlights on Overwatch anymore it just says “An unexpected error occurred while saving the highlight. (8232300E). Please help

  • CorgiCraft |VTuber| #TrueSMP (@CorgiCraft) reported

    We had a serious glitch happen on twitch today where my obs randomly just stopped streaming completely and left me no options on how to fix it other then to close and restart the whole window WHILE IM IN AN OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE MATCH it was a nightmare 😩

  • lyleabner lyle abner🔞🏳️‍🌈 (@lyleabner) reported

  • c0nstant_pain dedicated monkey activist (@c0nstant_pain) reported

    @MiracUtku07 @htebear @TheeHornyyPoPo waa waa I can’t handle furries cause I’m a little penis boy also yeah the bot problem is bad but Overwatch is way more toxic and valve just only cares about Dota and CS

  • JackyBoyDraws JackyBoyDraws (@JackyBoyDraws) reported

    @BlizzardCS Played overwatch a few mins ago. Everything was perfectly fine. The server "lost connection" for no apparent reason, and I'm stuck with a 7 hour suspension. Is there anything you guys can do to fix it? My Internet has been checked multiple times, comes out stable without no prob.

  • EskayOW es "eskay” kay (@EskayOW) reported

    Dude playing rust and getting an amazing update every month to look forward to is such a nice change from Overwatch and it’s every 6 months we fix ur leg even tho ur arm was broken oh by the way no new content until Overwatch 2 also we don’t know when that is

  • accureye FA_eye(formally Accureye) #CyberPunk2077 (@accureye) reported

    while i can understand on #Overwatch why some players have the accuracy or movement error or both on in the game you should turn that off usually it's a distraction and if your decent with any character like hanzo you should know how much charge you have

  • TRKazukiri TheRealKazukiri (@TRKazukiri) reported

    @solacegrey1 @SamitoFPS My guy. 30 Overwatch accounts. I’ve played at every elo. What you’re saying. Reeks of low low elo. Even plats know how broken immo is.

  • Turquoisemoss Turquoise Moss (@Turquoisemoss) reported

  • Dracofav John (@Dracofav) reported

    So last night after talking on Tuesday with some lovely folks about Overwatch I decided to get myself back up to speed on it. Well first there are A LOT of new characters since I last played. And second, the lag for me just in just the practice room was HORRIFYING.

  • DeltaFireexx D E L T A (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    @Sp1ritB0x logging into overwatch is the only thing that doesn’t bug for me LOL idk i’ve had these issues for a few days and it seems that restarting doesn’t solve my issues at all idk

  • sks_022 sks_022 (@sks_022) reported

    @CyberpunkGame @thegamerwebsite Whens the next update, i cant beat the game without losing overwatch so i have to shelf it till you fix it...

  • HoodieMacallan TTV/Ho0dieplays (@HoodieMacallan) reported

    One thing that I wish games would do is put in a legacy function. A gamemode where you play in an older meta than the one current to the game. So many games would appreciate this, fortnite (season 1-2), Overwatch (bring back mass res and sym shield gen), smash (bring back broken

  • ImThour Avi Thour (@ImThour) reported

    Alright, so Overwatch system in @CSGO is broken and even dead. I decrypt my overwatch cases and I know who is the cheater behind the case, and It's sad to know that x7 Spinbotters I reported for Cheating are still not banned from last 6 days. #CSGO
